Abstract (en)

A receiving/delivering apparatus for rod-shaped objects, according to the present invention, comprises a transport trough (96) having a guide groove for guiding the objects by transported by an air current, a driving pulley (106) located over the groove, first and second driven pulleys (110, 126) located over the guide groove, respectively, on the upper-course side of the driving pulley (106) with respect to the transportation direction of the objects, an endless rubber belt (130) stretched between the driving pulley (106) and the first driven pulley (110), the belt (130) including a belt portion between the driving pulley (106) and the first driv en pulley (110), and running in the same direction as the transportation direction, the belt portion having a parallel portion between the first and second driven pulleys (110, 126), and adapted to be in contact with the objects in the guide groove, and a slanting portion inclined at a predetermined angle, so as to be more distant from the guide groove than from the second driven pulley (126), and a pair of acceleration rollers (132) positioned beside that end portion of the transport trough (96) on the lower-course side with respect to the transportation direction.
